Jared Leto won millions of hearts but no Emmys as locker leaning Jordan Catalano in My So Called Life. Then, despite blatant Oscar-bait pandering --going gay (Alexander), playing the junkie (Requiem for a Dream), risking the weight gain (Lonelyhearts) --movie respect proved elusive. Poon tang has been easier to come by. He's had more starlet tail than anyone post-Warren Beatty: Scarlett Johansson, Cameron Diaz, Lindsay Lohan, etc... the list is long. But, that's a subject for another time.In his quest for acclaim, Leto made a tragic miscalculation. He forgot the one surefire Oscar gimmick: Play another famous person. Nothing polishes the Academy's gold man like a little Bio-Pic action. Mmmm celeb-on-celeb action. Oscar voters get hot just thinking about it.
For Jared's next trick, may I suggest the role he was born to play.
"Jared Leto IS Jennifer Connelly"
REQUIEM FOR A CO-STAR
Directed by some hack or another ...it doesn't matter. (Though a Gus Van Sant style shot-for-shot recreation of Jennifer's classic double dildo prostitution scene in Requiem would certainly sell tickets.)
If that doesn't win Oscar votes, it's time for Jared to hang it up, leave Hollywood and its megawatt ladies behind for full time rock n roll.
